you do realize the stealership is going to replace every possible cause of the problem actually fixing it only after they have run out of other things to replace, and ideas to make up, or you get really pissed, . . . right??

no doubt. i took my truck in cause there was a squeal in the front end in one of the pulleys but was really loud and i couldn't pinpoint which one. so the dealer takes it for an hour and quotes me 1200$ to fix. says its the alternator 90% of the noise... then tensioner is seazed (which was the funniest thing cause it wasn't) and idler pulley was make'n noise as well. and belt. all that for 1200$! are u kidding. so i took there quote and proceeded to change alternator thinking they knew at least what the problem was. NOPE still same issue. in the end it was the water pump pulley. so ended up being a 300 doller fix instead of a 1200$ one. they doubled every part in price they had on the sheet then what i could get it for at the parts store. and labor was killer.... long story short never take to dealer. they can't even figure out whats causeing the issues let alone fix them.

yea its definitaly best if you can find a reliable shop around you that you can trust...i just recently talked my dad into taking our van to the place where we get everything esle done and where we've gotten all our other cars that have lasted forever. Dealership was gonna charge us 1000 to get the whole ac system replaced and all it cost us was 60 bucks to get charged and they said it need something changed that only the ship could do but still better than paying a grand straight up.

yup i agree with virused, the dealer doesnt give a ****, they just want to make a buck, we have found (1) car dealer in the area, that doesnt bend you over and take your wallet, and that is any brand, or make, import or domestic, this one dealer(where we bought our trucks) is better than the rest, but still not perfect unless you go in there annoyed, then they are great
